The plan was quickly put into action.
The news that the eldest daughter of the Bai family had been found caused a sensation throughout the capital!
Even the emperor couldn't help but summon Bai Ze to inquire.
In the Imperial Study.
Bai Ze, looking somewhat weary, slowly said, "Your Majesty, my younger sister has indeed been found."
"Haha, that's not bad." The emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, was in his prime, with a smile on his face. "I wonder when we can return to the capital? I'd like to see her again. Back then, I held her in my arms and bestowed upon her the title of princess. But I never expected... It's a pity."
Bai Ze sighed and looked at the Emperor, saying slowly, "Your Majesty, my younger sister was adopted by an ordinary family. She was already married, but because the man was fickle and wanted to marry someone of higher status, he divorced her."
"My younger sister lives with her child at her parents' home. To make a living, she sells food in town. It was Haotian who discovered this and secretly investigated her." At this point, Bai Ze knelt down. "Your Majesty, we have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor. We beg Your Majesty to punish us!"
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, when my father and I asked you for leave, saying we were going back to our hometown, that was not the case. We were actually going to see my younger sister. Because we were afraid it was another lie, that's why... Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor waved his hand: "Get up. It's not your fault. I've seen it all over the years. Alright, let's leave it at that."
"Fortunately, there is some good news. As for that man who curries favor with the powerful, present the evidence, and I will take charge of things for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Ze bowed and then said, "The weather in Fenghua Town is terrible. In a few days, my father and mother will bring my sister back. As for Haotian..."
Bai Ze sighed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for speaking up for Haotian."
"The matter of Haotian is also my fault for not thinking things through." The Emperor stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "I thought that with Haotian's intelligence, he would definitely be able to take down Baihe Kingdom, but I forgot about Baihe Kingdom's ruthlessness and cunning. Now that Haotian's life or death is unknown, how can I punish him? Do you really think I don't understand those people's thoughts? Heh."
Bai Ze kept his head down and did not answer.
"Rest assured, I have already dispatched the Royal Guard to search for him. We will find Bai Haotian!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"By the way, how is that kid Nan Xiao?" The Emperor turned to Bai Zeyi. "Did you see him when you went to Fenghua Town this time?"
Bai Ze thought for a moment and nodded: "I have always felt that Prince Ning has an excellent character and is courageous and responsible, but he is too rigid and easily broken."
"That makes sense." The Emperor sighed softly. "With Dean Hu overseeing things, I feel at ease."
After the emperor and his minister spoke for a while, Bai Zeyi finally left.
I received good news as soon as I returned to the Bai family.
They found Bai Haotian's whereabouts.
"Brother, how is it?" Bai Hanri rushed in, and seeing Bai Haotian sipping his tea in deep thought, she couldn't help but feel her heart race. "Sixth Brother and I are twins. Normally, if something happened to Sixth Brother, I would definitely have a telepathic connection, but everything is normal!"
“We’ve already found Haotian’s trail, and they should be able to find him soon.” Bai Zeyi tapped his fingers lightly on his teacup. “Hanri, in seven days, go to Fenghua Town and bring your sister back.”
Bai Hanri happily agreed.
In Fenghua Town, Bai Tuantuan distributed porridge every day without fail. Word spread quickly, and many disaster victims came to the Chen family's doorstep.
Chen Hua and his team, on the other hand, were very accurate in their arrests, managing to find all the people from the Baihe Kingdom.
“The weather is cold again today…” Feng Yue glanced out the window, her brows furrowed tightly. “Those disaster victims probably won’t make it.”
"It's time for dinner." Bai Tuantuan ran over. "Grandma, we have food."
These days, both the Bai and Chen families have discovered that Bai Tuantuan has her own secret: how can the more she eats, the more food she gets?
Chen Luo and Bai Han spent the entire day in the study lecturing Bai Tuantuan, instructing her not to reveal her secrets to outsiders, as possessing such a treasure could be a crime.
"Okay, let's eat." Feng Yue rolled up her sleeves and started busying herself in the kitchen.
The three Chen brothers went to find Bai Haotian's whereabouts, while Nan Nian and Rong Manli helped in the kitchen.
Bai Tuantuan then tidied up the herbs and, with the help of Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng, took them out.
As soon as the door opened, the disaster victims lined up on their own.
A cold wind was blowing. After glancing around, Bai Tuantuan asked, "Where are Grandpa Zhang and Little Mantou?"
"They're sick." The middle-aged man sighed, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.
"What's wrong?" Bai Tuantuan asked as she served the food. "Did something happen?"
"They won't let me say it," the middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears, "but I'm scared, Grandpa Zhang is going to die, and Little Mantou is going to die too..."
Chen Xingfeng frowned slightly: "Tell us in detail, and we will help if we can."
“The wind was too strong last night. To keep the wind out of the dilapidated temple, Grandpa Zhang sat in the hole, which caused him to catch a cold. Little Mantou was worried about Grandpa Zhang and fell ill while taking care of him. Grandpa Zhang told me not to trouble you, saying that you have already helped us a lot.”
Everyone lowered their heads, clearly saddened by what happened to Master Zhang and Little Mantou.
Now it's Grandpa Zhang and Little Mantou, will they be next?
"I'll go with you to take a look." Bai Tuantuan put down her spoon. "Big brother, second brother, you get them some food."
As she spoke, Bai Tuantuan picked up her small first-aid kit and was about to go over, but how could Chen Xingfeng and the others feel at ease in this weather?
"No need, no need, we'll go and carry Grandpa Zhang and Little Mantou over!" The middle-aged man was overjoyed and turned to run towards the dilapidated temple.
The two people in the shadows exchanged a glance, and the one with the large mole whispered, "So they were here."
"Let's move tonight." Li Fan made a throat-slitting gesture. They had been searching for the Chen family for a long time, and finally found them today.
What the two of them didn't know was that their decision had just been placed on the Chen family's table.
"What a Xiao Guangyuan!" Bai Han slammed his fist on the table. "He actually attacked you! So ruthless! How can he serve the people!"
Madam Bai quickly patted Bai Han's back to calm him down.
Chen Luo looked at Rong Manli and said slowly, "Since Xiu'er is leaving, there's no need for these two to stay any longer."
"yes."
Rong Manyi immediately understood and made arrangements for manpower.
Bai Tuantuan spent the entire afternoon in the side room stabilizing the two patients' conditions.
Both Master Zhang and Little Mantou have too many hidden ailments.
"The Master said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. Sister, I will repay you." Little Mantou's eyes were full of determination. "Sister, whatever you ask me to do, I will do it!"
Bai Tuantuan laughed, looked at Xiao Mantou, and slowly said, "Then Xiao Mantou, live well. If you have the chance, study hard and pass the imperial examinations. Your sister will be waiting for you in the capital."
The little steamed bun nodded vigorously.
Old Zhang looked at Bai Tuantuan with affection: "Good child, good deeds will be rewarded."
As soon as Bai Tuantuan stepped out, she saw Lord Han's figure.
"The imperial court has already sent grain, and we are very grateful for your great help these past few days." Lord Han cupped his hands in thanks and continued, "However, we still need Tuantuan for a few more days. The disaster victims trust Tuantuan and only allow him to treat their illnesses, so..."
At this point, Lord Han smiled and said, "Now, Tuantuan's good reputation has spread far and wide."
The group exchanged glances; they were all intelligent people, and they understood what Lord Han meant.
This good reputation is the reward for distributing porridge to the Chen family!
